Flush Kit Instructions 1
Flush Procedure
Use the following procedure to flush any of the following 5000 series
printers:
•5120
•Early 5240
•Current 5240 (see note below)
•5122.
Apply the following general guidelines to the flush procedure:
•Visually inspect the printer lines for residual ink before refilling the
system with new ink.
•For high-contrast color changes, such as black to yellow, repeat the
procedure until the system lines are completely clear. Even very small
amounts of residual dark ink will discolor the lighter ink.
•The ink draining and purge procedures are repeated several times
during the flush procedure. This repetition is deliberate and ensures
proper flushing of the fluid lines. Perform all steps ofthe procedure as
described.
•Take precautions against ink spills and have materials on hand to
clean up spilled ink.
Caution: Prevent garments and exposed skin from having prolonged contact with
ink. Clean up spilled in promptly.
•Read through the entire procedure completely before starting.
•If you have problems with the procedures, contact technical support
(see “Scope”).
Note: The current model of 5240 is also called the 5240N.
